[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 2912888, member: 114"] Sleep has been mentioned a couple of times, but I'd recommend not going there at all - the spell has been nerfed beyond all recognition. Not only does it get a save and affects a paltry number of creatures, but it is [B]a full round casting time[/B]. Nothing says 'I'm a wizard, hit me' like spending an entire round chanting away at a spell. Other survival tips for a low level wizard: Make some scrolls - it is pretty cheap once you've done a couple of adventures, and it dramatically improves your magical staying power. Grease is an excellent 1st level 'battlefield control' spell, with some handy alternative uses. Obscuring Mist can even the odds if you are outnumbered, especially by missile firing foes. Featherfall can be a real lifesaver - since at low level even a 20ft deep pit can be a serious threat to life and limb! Cheesr [/QUOTE]
